All of her "secrets" she tried to keep from being revealed were rather selfish , like not telling the wife of Justin he was sleeping around on work vacations? Really?

Some use the lame excuse saying they drank too much and did not realise what they were doing. Sorry, but you are an adult and you should know better.

To judge this book based on the author’s previous masterpieces is not only unfair but degrading as well. I listened to this novel on a well-done audiobook and enjoyed Daphne Kouma, the English female narrator, from beginning to end. Thanks to NetGalley, Bookotoure Audio, author Julia Roberts, and everyone else involved, I appreciated the opp to read and review this ARC honestly.

I did finish the book thinking there just might be a payoff at the end. There wasn’t. I'm rounding it up to 2 stars simply because I finished it. Special thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for sharing this meaningful ARC COPY with me in exchange my honest review. So our story starts at the 40th birthday party of Livia. She’s finally having quality time with loved ones and being pampered by her friends and family. But Livia is not really happy. She’s keeping a secret from her husband about her daughter. Her husband’s favorite, Marnie, their daughter, betrayed their trust and Livia is not ready to face to her daughter who is still in Hong Kong for her education. This secret could change everything about their family dynamics, their social circles and close friendships.
